Processing Plan
Each collection should have its own processing plan. While there may be some unique elements to every plan, the following items should remain the same:
AIP convention:
One piece of media will correspond to one AIP. Disk images, captured metadata, photographs, and (if applicable) readme files will all be produced for each item.
Naming convention:
Each group of media in the collection, by format, will be assigned a numerical code for naming convention purposes. These will be:
01 – 3.5 inch floppy disks
02 – Optical media
03 – Zip disks
04 - 5.25 inch floppy disks
Directory structure:
